Super Jet Superjet Tray repair HELP

[bmb17]

Last weekend I noticed my tray had a low spot in it and found the tray cracked up. I have known for a while now that my ski for sure has waterloged foam. It just never bothered me cause I could still have fun on it.

Here are some pics of the damage

I am trying to figure out what I can do to possibly finish out the year with it and try to fix it the correct way this winter. (Going to need some help with that)

My idea was to glass over the bad spot and then add a piece of aluminum over the top of it for some strength then turf over that to try to finish out the year. Any other ideas? I have some bondo fiberglass resin and some sheets of glass can I use that to go over the hole?

I can push the fiberglass down a good 1/4 inch. Shouldn't the foam be tight against the tray for support?

Thanks for the help

i just found the same crack on my sn i used flexable marine tech with sum fiberglass and then used some fiberglass jelly on the top but i would install foot holds while your doin glass work

and also i woul install a drain plug

throw a couple layers of fiberglass 6oz over the crack and call it good, I would be willing to bet thats not the only place your getting water in your tray but it will help, Installing drain plugs isnt a bad idea but you wont get all the water out by any stretch because the foam will hold on to most of it

Bondo and "fiberglass jelly" won't work. You need epoxy resin and glass mat

And sand the entire area where you are applying epoxy. Sand down bare with 60grit or so sandpaper. rough up the area really well.
Easy job, and there will be more to come. :ugh:

If your goal is to ride it until winter, I would do some sort of caulking with a polymer plate (ex: plexi glass, however plexiglass is brital. possibly something else) to distribute the weight over the base of the tray until winter, to prevent further cracking. And then...

noticed this on mine, it is very thin where it should be the strongest, used fiberglass jelly and 3 layers of fiberglass cloth, covered the other side also to increase strenth
